Ivory – precious substance for cult, art and everyday objects, sign of luxury, status, greed and power, testimony of colonialism, exploitation and human cruelty. The multi-layered ways of looking at ivory characterise the design of the exhibition in a motivically intervowen course. The exhibition "Terrible Beauty: Elephant – Human – Ivory" runs from 20 Juli 2021 to 28 November 2021.

The Museum zu Allerheiligen MzA, the renowned multi-faceted museum in the city of Schaffhausen, is to be made into a centre that intensifies the cultural identity of the city – a new centre of attraction open to everyone.

On 20 July 2021, the Humboldt Forum will open its portals. Holzer Kobler Architekturen is responsible for the entire structural corporate design of the Humboldt Forum, for the exhibition scenography of the ivory exhibition "Terrible Beauty: Elephant – Human – Ivory" and for the design of the Humboldt Academy. 

Professor Barbara Holzer, together with Professor Tanja Kullack and Professor Markus Pasing, taught the curated course "The Vertical Village" for the Master of Architecture and Interior Design at the Peter Behrens School of Arts. The students developed their projects from the first sketch to the final elaboration in groups and with input from external specialists.
